Sea Turtle Puppet
Fall 2014 ToysReview:
Of the eight species of sea turtles that live in the world's warm water oceans, the Loggerhead is the most common in the U.S. This Sea Turtle Puppet has openings for "talking" (head and jaw) and for maneuvering the front legs, but no recoiling-under-the-shell option. The shell coloring and head characteristics mimic these actual sea creatures, hence providing helpful science information during play time. Facts about sea turtles and a related Gabrielino Indian folktale about how California was created are written on the tag/pamphlet.
